Posted by spurtus ajaxwrite.com 4/23/2008 00:23:25 Play online chess	Subject: stonewalll attack study material Message: can anybody point me in the direction of any stonewall attack opening material / an online guide or a chessbase database. I've been experimenting with it and it seems not as good or systematic as I expected so I'm probably not getting the move order right. Thanks, Spurtus

I have only seen one book on Stonewall attack it put out by Chess Digest,written by GM Andrew Soltis, I saw the book for sale on www.amazon.com It was expensive I though for the book. I hope this helps you out. Good luck in future games. Thanks
Posted by chessnovice ajaxwrite.com 4/24/2008 08:03:11 Play online chess	Andrew Solitis Message: www.amazon.com www.amazon.com (Currently unavailable, though) ——— Anand's missed opportunity — The chess World Championship is on a knife-edge. But Anand could have made a mark in this game. Anand and Topalov go into the 12th game of their chess match today with scores level. If drawn, tie-break rapid games will be played on Thursday. Topalov's declaration before the match that he would neither offer nor accept a draw has clearly had a liberating effect on both players, resulting in one of the most entertaining world chess championship finals we have seen in years. All the games have been long and hard-fought, so it's hardly surprising that tiredness is affecting play. Anand missed several chances to win in game 9, Topalov had a promising endgame in game 10 but ...
Posted by savage4731 ajaxwrite.com 4/27/2008 21:00:24 Play online chess	Stonewall attack Message: The book "How to think ahead in chess" by Reinfeld/ Horowitz is a repertoire book that covers the basics of the stonewall. Amazon is way too expensive though. I bought my copy at a local used bookstore for about $5. ——— Playing for the World Title, Minus Any Fireworks — Before a world chess championship match, players spend months looking at their opponent’s games and studying opening systems, often with the aid of chess computers and databases. They also hire trainers, who are called seconds, to help. It is a time- and labor-intensive process. That is one of the reasons that fans look forward to the chess matches. They want to see what the players will do and what new ideas they have discovered, particularly in the openings. The current world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria has been as closely contested as predicted. But there have been no eye-opening innovations. Game ...
Posted by kansaspatzer ajaxwrite.com 4/27/2008 22:45:03 Play online chess	Message: Interlibrary loan? ——— With Another Draw, Chess Championship Match Remains Tied — Game 10 of the world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, ended in a relatively uneventful draw on Friday. With only two games remaining in the best-of-12 series, the players are tied with 5 points apiece. If the match should remain tied after the last two games — which is a real possibility at the moment — it would go to a tie-breaker of four rapid games (each player starts with 25 minutes and has 10 seconds added to his time after each move). Such a tie-breaker was used in the 2006 world chess championship match between Topalov and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia. After each player won a game, and one ended ...
